Found 37-610 in great shape
#4

Thanks for the comments. I also like this dial. The dial is a little worn and is hard to see the numbers. Appears to be three bands. AM and maybe two shortwave? An added plus was I turned it over and looked thru the slots in the bottom and many caps have already been replaced. Just saw a couple old paper caps. So I guess when this radio was purchased in 1937 the homeowner brought it home and had to hook up some type of antennae. THere are 4 screws on the back with the middle two as a ground. I get a couple stations loud and clear if I connect a long wire to terminal one and hold the other end. Without holding the reception is weak. So do you need the antennae wire and a ground? This is my first radio of the 30's so I could use a little help on how to get better reception...Thanks
